ย ย  "Why don't we just set up a watch for him?"
A taller woman with brown hair speaks. She seems unfamiliar to me.

Just then an older black gentleman pipes up, "sounds like a good idea."

Katniss glances between both of the people in front of us. "I'll take a watch"

They both look over and eye her, "are you sure" the man speaks and Katniss nods.

He sighs as he exits the glassy building and Katniss shortly follows suit.

Finnick and I glance at each other, "why did coin send you?" Finnick whispers and I shrug.

"She never gave a reason why to send Peeta and she sent me to watch over him I suppose" I state as I take my knife out and sit down analyzing it.

"You don't think she might try to kill Katniss do you?" A mans voice rings out and I quickly look in that direction. It was Gage, his green eyes pierce through me and I shrug as I look back down.

"Or maybe she is trying to kill both Katniss and Victoria.." Finnick pipes up, "I mean she sent Peeta here because he wants to kill Katniss. She sent you here weak and pregnant because she doubts your capabilities" Finnick scuffs and sits down next to me.

"What? Why would she do that?" I ask confused and he chuckles

"Because you and Katniss are threats to her, you being loved by all and the power Katniss has over the rebellion. Once it's over they have to pick a new leader..they'd pick either you or Katniss and coin knows it."

I furrow my eyebrows and look down. She is exactly like snow, power hungry. She doesn't want the well being of others. She just wants power.

It was dark out now, Finnick sits up as I lean my head against his shoulder, he plays with my hair for awhile and the room seems very quite.

I open my eyes to find Katniss staring at peeta, he opens his eyes and speaks. "I've seen that look before"

He sits up and I could feel Finnick stir a bit as he keeps his guard up.

They talk for a few and I only listen when his voice raises, "now mutt?!?" Everyone was stirring awake now and even I was on guard.

He sighs as he looks around and glances over at me, "I'm sorry I just, I can't tell what's real or not anymore" he simply says and finnicks voice rings out.

"Then ask."

I nod in his direction, "remember what I told you peeta, ask" I simply reply and he turns to Katniss.

"Your favorite color is green, real or not real." He speaks out as I could see her glassy eyes stare upon him, "real, yours is orange, but not the bright orange, soft orange, like the sunset"

Silence fell upon the whole room as everyone listened, "you're a painter, a baker, you always sleep with the windows open, you never take sugar in your tea, you always double lace your shoelaces.. you're right" she quickly states as she stands up, "I can't do this" she simply says as she walks over to the opposite side next to a man I was introduced to a long while ago, Gale I believe.

I glance over at Peeta who was looking at me with hard eyes, I mouth out 'it's okay, good job' with that he nodded in my direction and laid back down.

Finnicks hand brushes against my back rubbing it gently as I lay my head back onto his shoulder, "everything's going to be okay, right" I whisper so he could hear as he soothes me by caressing my shoulder

"Yes, I promise" he says just as he kisses my forehead and I close my eyes to fall into a steady sleep.

At least if I'm going to face war and this complication, I have Finnick by my side.

ย  "Bogs are we sure?"

The older black man who I learned is Bogs hands Peeta a gun, "no worries, it's not loaded, just for show." He simply says as the rest of the group nods and looks at each other.

I sigh deeply as I look at the ruble before me before I step out.

"Let's move on out!" Bogs states as Katniss and Gale lead and Finnick comes behind me, "it's okay vic"

I smile softly as I look over at him, "I'm not scared finnick, I'm sure we've faced worse before correct" he chuckles and kisses my lips softly, "indeed"

Peeta comes with us as Finnick reads notes and Peeta follows them.

I hold on tightly to my knives in case of any sudden danger, I maybe pregnant but I will sure kick anyone's ass if they try something.

We all follow along til we are met with a group of stairs.

Peeta glances at me occasionally in comfort and I give him a pat on the shoulder, "you okay?" I ask and he sighs nodding

"I guess, I think" I give him a warning look until bogs voice rings out, "we've got a pod! We split and take cover." He says as half of us move over and the other half on the other side.

Peeta went with Finnick and I look across to see Finnick and I separated, I could see the worry in his eyes and I simply give him a nod telling him it's okay and to remember the mission.

Suddenly bogs throws something in between and the air filled with dust and smoke as the bullets go through the ally where we just were and I barley catch Finnick but he chuckles a bit and I shake my head and glare at him for thinking it's funny, which causes him to smile.

Bogs and Gale and couple others I don't know go ahead and take the first steps out, I hear muffles as I look over at Peeta and I could tell he was terrified, but not from what happened, simply from what the capital did to us.

Katniss and I make eye contact as I quickly go over to Peeta and I place my hand on his shoulder, "Peeta come on, it's okay, I promise it's alright."

"V-Vic, they they"

I pull him into a hug as Finnick who was behind him stares down at me.

"They aren't here anymore to hurt you I promise" I whisper and he nods as he calms down only slightly.

Finnick and I make eye contact and he helps me get Peeta up on his feet.

Just then a loud BOOM can be heard.

"BOGS!!" I heard Katniss call out as Finnick and I quickly make our way around the corner.

Dust and debris was everywhere as we stare upon it.

Once finally getting there we notice his legs were blown up and he was bleeding out. It was no use. Nothing we could have done.

He starts to speak to Katniss as I take whatever I can to stop the bleeding.

He gives the holograph to Katniss and she now has control she was in shock just as bogs pulls my arm to be near him and he stares right into my eyes.

"Victoria..do what we came to do. Finish this. End this." With that his breathing stopped and his lifeless body laid beneath Katniss and I as we glance at each other.

We hear another muffle as we look over I see another woman who looks the same as the one crying as she runs across we hear a click.

We watch as the walls around us close and shut I quickly stand up knowing this can't be good, we're trapped.

I panickily look around to see a way out just as Finnick and I make eye contact, he runs to me just as a black ooze waterfall fills from each end that closed.

Just as Finnick and I make our way to a door way I look back to see Peeta throwing Katniss down as he barley misses her head when he tries to smash it.

I quickly rush out as the black ooze creeps up on us more Finnick calls out, "VICTORIA!!" He screams as he rushes behind me and pulls Peeta up I grab Katniss just in time for the black ooze to be where we were moments ago we rush into the high building.

Peeta struggles and I glance over, when I look in his eyes it doesn't even look like Peetas but a wild animal.

"Get to higher ground!!" Someone shouts just as we rush up the stair case.

We get to highest ground we could as Finnick pulls me closer to him and I fall back into his arms as we watch the black ooze slowly creep up more and more.

I breath hysterically as Finnick keeps me tightly in his arms he and I glance into each other's eyes, I could see fear and panic, nothing we could do.

Is this where it ends.

I think just as it stops. The black ooze slows down and stops just before hitting the edge of the stairs. It then goes down such as it's draining.

I place my hand upon finnicks as I hold tightly to it we squeeze each other hands.

Just as Peeta starts to struggle again Finnick grudgingly let's go of my hand and holds Peeta down just in time to inject some Serum into him to keep him steady and calm.

Katniss and I watch and she glances at me, "thank you. For"

I simply nod before she spoke the rest, "it was no problem."

She and I may not be friends, but we accept each other and respect. That's all that's needed, we both have one mission here.

"We need to get back to base, Everdeen the holo?" The talk woman with brown hair speaks and everyone glances at each other.

"Bogs gave it to me." She speaks out

"He did, he gave it to Katniss." I simply say as this woman's face turns into confusion.

"Why would he do that." She asks.

Before Katniss could come up with something I take a step forward.

"We have special orders from president Coin. To Assassinate president snow." I simply speak out.

Katniss seems to be relived when I said what I said

"I don't believe that for one second" she speaks out. "As your new Commander I order you-" she begins and Katniss shakes her head

"No."

"We can't do that." I say sternly as I felt eyes upon us. The tension builds up as her focus was on me.

The woman reaches to her belt and before she pulls out her gun towards me Finnick quickly reacts and points his gun at her. "Let's not lose our heads here"

I stand there as she points her gun at me and I hear others behind me point their weapons at her.

"Last warning, give me the holo" she speaks out at Katniss then keeps the gun pointed at me. I stand my ground and glare back at her.

"Even though your pregnant Mrs. Odair I won't hesitate" she speaks out and I continue my ground.

"They're telling the truth, Plutarch wants it televised"

She continues to speak as a hand reaches my shoulder and I know it's Finnick as he slowly steps in front of me with a protective arm over me.

The woman glances between us and the group, "while we are here bickering like kids, we might all die in matter of seconds as hundreds of peacekeepers are on their way here" I state as I move finnicks arm that was protective around me away from me.

I love his protectiveness but he needs to realize I can hold my own ground.

"Bogs said you'd help me." Katniss voice rings out. Slowly she puts her gun down and away as does Finnick.

"We should move now"
Gale speaks as I look over and see the twins.

"I'll stay behind with her" one speaks out and Finnick grips my hand, we both know they wouldn't make it. But we'll always try.

"We'll send someone when we are all clear"
The brown haired woman speaks out.

"Everybody move out!" She speaks as they take Peeta and Finnick helps him, "can you walk?" He asks as I giggle as Peeta stumbles a bit causing Finnick to hit the wall, Finnick chuckles as Peeta snickers.

Once reaching the bottom we walk upon the bowl like stadium as we go across we see the guy that was killed by Peeta and pushed into the ooze as he lay lifeless.

We go across and find another opening as we walk into the building we quickly move as we hear peacekeepers pull in.

I move a curtain to peer out just as I feel Finnick graze his hand upon my waist looking above me.

Suddenly. We see them sworm the area we were just in and fire upon the building.

I gasp as I lean back hitting finnicks chest as I cover my mouth with my hand.

We watch as the building bursts into flames with a big explosion. I close my eyes quickly and turn around into finnicks chest as he held onto me tightly.

We don't bother saying a word to each other about what just happened, we might have just been used to it.

Shortly later we are gathered in a living room type area as the tv pops on and I see ceaser.

His hair is purple as this year seems to be his color.

I remember years ago meeting him, I glance over at Gage who seems to be oddly very silent as he cleans his gun.

He notices eyes as he looks over at me and I can't help but feel bad for him. I haven't said barley a word to him and yet he still doesn't even know I'm pregnant with his child.

Ceasers voice booms bringing my gaze back to the Television, "Good afternoon, I'm ceaser flickerman, here with our continuing coverage, from the defense of the capital. Today as our peacekeepers hold off the rebels. Our story takes a surprising twist." He speaks as he continues as he shows a clip of us running from the black ooze.

"Katniss Everdeen runs through our cities with names we all quite know. Finnick Odair, Peeta Mellark, and the one we all love the most, Victoria Grace. Or shall we say Odair." He speaks out as he shows Peeta trying to kill Katniss and Finnick and I rushing to save them just in time.

"Clearly some alliances don't last forever" he speaks out.

I look over at Peeta who is shocked at how he acted and the boy I knew was back. Not the one from the film.

"Look what happened moments ago when our peacekeepers cornered our loved victors. We are witnessing a great victory not only for the capital but Panem."

Suddenly the tv shows the clip of them shooting down the building we were in, destroying it and watching it burn into flames.

We all stare upon the screen.

"There you have it, the loved victors of Panem who inspired so much violence seems to have met, a violent end." He speaks out as the camera goes blank.

"What do we do now that we're dead" Gage speaks out

"Isn't it obvious, kill me. I murdered someone, Katniss is right, I'm a mutt. It's only a matter of time before I snap again." He softly speaks out as I could hear the pain in his voice.

"I need a night lock pill." He speaks and I shake my head.

"If it gets to that point, I'll kill you myself." I speak out to him and he looks over at me.

Few hours have past and we all stay silent, I walk over to Finnick as I sit in between Finnick and Peeta and we all munch on little food items left from the capital.

"Am i a mutt? Real or not real." Peeta whispers to me and I look at him, "not really Peeta. You aren't. You just need time to heal from what snow did to you. To us." I simply say and he glances at me.

"How Did you heal." He asks.

"I didn't. I guess. We both just survived. We have to accept it. What happened to us, better ourselves I suppose." I say and Finnick laces his fingers in mine.

Suddenly the capital television turns on and the music goes with it.

First, it showed the faces of the other team members in our group I didn't know too well. Suddenly finnicks face pops up and he begins to chuckle as I smile and giggle, we probably looked dumb but who cares we are dead after all.

Gages face pops up and he and I glance at each other. Peetas face pops up and I nudge him causing him to chuckle as well then suddenly Katniss pops up and she smiles as well as Gale and then my photo pops up, "at least used our sexy photos!" I call out causing everyone to laugh at my remark and Finnick wraps his arm around me as I lean on him.

We ignore whatever snow has to say as suddenly it glitches and coin pops up upon the screen, "I am president coin, leader of the rebellion. Their vision and ours will be noticed and realized. A free Panem, with self determination for all. We will all find the strength to rid Panem of what snow did, thank you, be safe." She finishes as the symbol of the mocking jay stands and then suddenly a picture of my waved golden pin pops upon the screen.

Katniss and I glance at each other and kind of smirk.

"Snows in his mansion" I speak up and she nods, "where is that?" She replies.

Someone else from the group points, "that's us, that's the city circle, it's 70-75 blocks north."

"Seventy five blocks" Finnick repeats worried.

"Nobody knows we're alive. This is the perfect chance." I speak out.

I point over, "these buildings don't those look over his gardens?"

"They do" Gage speaks out.

"We can't get too ahead of ourselves here. They still are prepared. Show where the pods are"

Katniss presses a button and a bunch of dots around show up.

"About every ten steps" I repeat

"Doesn't include the new ones." Gage pipes up and I glance then look back down at the hologram.

"We can't go through the streets, the rooftops are just as bad." Finnick says

A guy who doesn't speak motions something as his brother speaks up.

"There maybe another way. My brother knows the tunnels really well, right after they made him an avox. He worked nonstop underground. Didn't see the sun for years. But he knows them very well." He speaks up

"Then let's all get some rest and we'll start down there tomorrow." Katniss speaks up as we all find our places.

Finnick and I took a couch and I lay my head upon him, hearing his heart beat.

"It'll all be over soon vic" Finnicks soothing voice mutters so I can hear.

I look up to meet his sea green eyes that I get lost in every time.

"You're right, but it's not over yet" I whisper back and he rests his hand on my stomach and kisses my forehead.

"It's nothing to be worried about Vic"

"I could have lost you" I reply

"That's the price we sometimes pay in war and battle for peace." I widen my eyes at his words.

"You would die??" I ask

"Vic..if it means a better future for you and our baby, yes. Yes I would. I want our future to be perfect, for you to be safe and I'll do whatever that takes, even if it means dying myself. We know the risks"

I glance down then back up at him, now isn't the time to cry I must stay strong.

He could see right through me as he sighs and pulls me closer to him, suddenly he lets go and takes my hand leading me out of the room to the rooftop. Where we could be alone.

The wind brushes against my face as open the door to the rooftop, with a shut of the door I felt a tear fall upon my left cheek. He pulls me to him tightly.

"It's okay not not be okay sometimes Victoria."
He speaks softly.

"I can't show anyone else how I feel Finnick. I'm Victoria Grace after all. I'm ruthless right" I say and he shakes his head as he takes my hands in his.

"Remember the day I met you on that rooftop. Remember what I said, we have to stick together. You're Victoria Odair now. You're my wife, my everything Vic. You're the strongest woman Panem will every fucking see, remember that. I love you with everything I have. The day I lost you in the capital I broke. I knew you maybe strong enough to handle it but was I? Was I strong enough without you." He states

"What do you think would happen if I lose you"I say.

"Victoria! Listen. We are both at war right now. It's not just about me. It's you! Have you thought maybe you could die too?? That If I make one wrong move you could be gone in a second. Stop worrying about me. Yes we maybe both strong but together..we are the strongest." He says as he calms down and brushes his thumb against my cheek.

I felt another tear escape down my cheek.
"I'm sorry, you're right. I just. Stay, stay with me" I simply say and he pulls me into another hug.

"Always." He says and I smile softly as he pulls back enough to give me a tender and
